Legal fees are expensive but Lynch Morgan Lawyers has a number of costing arrangements available to meet your circumstances.

Staged costing

You don’t have to commit to an unlimited budget for legal costs rather we assist you to budget by breaking up any retainer into defined stages.

You’re free to commit only to each stage of the proceedings and to proceed to the next stage only if you wish to spend more money.

Fixed Price costing

Where feasible we can provide you with a fixed cost for a legal task so that there are no nasty surprises at the end of the matter.

Item Charge costing

If you wish to know exactly what your legal dollar is buying we provide itemised accounts based on the traditional scale costs structure modified to accommodate the type of legal work required.

This type of costing allows you to seek clarification of any particular item charged to you.

Event costing

Sometimes clients find it beneficial to plan their legal expenditure by reference to certain defined events in the progress of a matter. This method permits certainty both in the amount charged and the time at which the charges are payable.

Time costing

Sometimes clients are not interested in an item charge summary but rather are more concerned to ensure that they are charged only for the time spent on undertaking the legal work involved.

If requested we can render fees on the basis of a time costing method.

Deferred costing

We recognise that sometimes your financial position does not allow the immediate payment of fees and that you need some flexibility in the time for payment of fees.

Subject to certain conditions, we try to help by agreeing to defer payment of our fees until a time convenient to you.

Secured costing

We understand that sometimes urgent legal action is necessary in order to protect your interests and that it is not always possible to meet immediate funding requirements.

In these type of situations we try to assist by securing our costs against your assets or those of a third party so that we can help you straight away and get paid later.

Pro Bono Work

As legal professionals we recognise our obligation to the public to provide legal services at no cost to deserving cases where the client cannot afford to pay fees.

However the decision to act pro bono is a matter for the individual lawyer involved and is subject to the agreement of all partners.
